If so how long did you wait until you felt comfortable putting your tank up. I planned on 5 days but I feel this isn’t realistic.

Worried about the Voc’s and toxic fumes as polyurethane is the worst.

I looked into liquid epoxys and poly acrylics. But one is to expensive and the other isn’t very water resistant.

Polyurethane will completely cure in 5 days. The only other danger with polyurethane is that if its not completely cured besides the fumes is it reacting with the plastic of your aquarium frame and making a permanent bond. This can be avoided by rubbing the polyurethane where the tank will sit with a candle. The wax will prevent sticking.

Thank you for the candle wax tip.

I have been moving states and I decided to redo and waterproof stands to last longer at the same time

I will wait it out longer as suggested. Its been cold, rainy, then humid so drying times are awful.
